Fake and will use you - Sales Manager Pure Barre Employee Review

I have loved my internship at Pure Barre. My supervisors are knowledgeable and supportive. They have taken the time to make sure that my experience has been beneficial for my growth and future endevors.

The role is remote, and while my supervisors had great communication, it was difficult to get in touch with other employees.

Studio culture varies, but if you're at the right studio, the relationships you'll build with your clients and coworkers are pure gold. Some of the best, most talented, most inspiring people I know are people I've met through Pure Barre. Free classes + discounted retail are also a big plus!

Too many formats! Unless you're independently wealthy, you can't make teaching Pure Barre your only gig. Most instructors also work either a full-time job or multiple part-time jobs. As someone with a corporate career, even just fitting in time to learn Classic choreo was a balancing act. Managers pressure instructors to train on more class formats, and I can't blame them - after all, if corporate is advertising 5 formats, they need instructors to fill all of those slots on their schedule. It just got to be too much, and I know I'm not the only instructor who's felt this way. As much as corporate claims that these formats are easy to memorize, rooted in the same foundations, etc., asking instructors who are already busy to memorize ever-changing choreo for up to 5 different formats is detrimental to both the instructor and client experience. Instructors risk burnout, and clients have to experience instruction that's sometimes sloppy and haphazard.
